Lads, it's the Premier League thread - EPL 2019/20

Wrong end

c'mon Jota, chip taht one over

lol this time my feed is lagged.

ugh dammit.

Blimey.

rare gaffe by Patricio. I'm not entirely anxious tho. Wolves could have 3 or 4 by now, and I think there are more coming.

I'm listening to the radio. Not good.

Worst of it is the idiot kept calling us on 2 goals cos of that second one Jota shd've scored.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

lol

next time I say six more, I specify which squad first

Tempted to get outside clothes on and go and watch the second half but Sunday evening in winter and I don't wanna be in the pub

Two teams like this could easy be six goals in the game

jesus fuck almost a third

Wolves just need to settle, there have been many holes they've exploited in Brighton and there's no sign Brighton's defending has tightened. no need to force things at all.

def don't wanna lose this one with Liverpool and Man City coming up

Def wanna close the gap on Chelsea and here we go. Bout time Jota got back among the goals.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH YESSSSS

Brighton just keep doing this shit. at least the third bad turnover in their own end that resulted in a shot on goal. this one went in.

I figured there'd be a match like this, brutal sked having to play 8 matches this month.

Sounds like we're business as usual tbh except for uncharacteristic defensive errors which you could put down to Brighton being a fluid attacking team and us still missing Willy

yeah not having Willy definitely hurts. the first goal was Patricio dozing.

Wolves also not as crisp in their passing, they definitely look like a team that has played a lot.

and yet they still could have had four goals, probably.

We still seem to have games where the passing doesn't click, never sure if it's mental fatigue because there doesn't seem much logic to when it happens. At least the Europa game is a dead rubber this week.

haven't seen as much Traore today.

screaming for handball

i can't believe that wasn't a pen. not intentional but he gained a huge advantage rolling over the ball and handling it

lol Brighton taking fast free kick and kicking it out of bounds

two yellows drawn by Traore today

im guessing 3 of stoppage

Wanted the win today but it's another unbeaten, another good performance. Some big games coming up now.

Oh and Spurs.

really bummed that they didn't manage, that one opportunity late that was put on the wrong foot coulda done it (I forget who it was fed to).

but oh well still haven't lost in league play since Sept.

gotta say this fellaini to tottenham rumour is a great way to start the week

Man, you beat me to it there! It's sweet!

It's a good 'un

That's not dribbling, it's running

enjoyed this reprise. originally about hatem ben arfa iirc.

just checked where ben arfa is playing now. is he retired or what? remember SV raving about his performances for Nice which got him a move to PSG where he did nothing for 2 years apparently before leaving for rennes.

oh i thought ben arfa/capote before it hit the back of the net tbf, valid comment

oh shit xp

its an ilx classic reclamation

wondering how long pep will stubbornly play fernandinho at CB even though his absence in MF is completely wrecking City? even a ropey stones/otomendi pairing but with fernandinho playing at the base of midfield would be more viable at this point surely, hell chuck a youth teamer in at CB just don't fuck up the MF.

Sounds about right but I'd probably swap in one of those training dummies for Stones

Understand it's highly likely that Minamino joins Liverpool in January. Expect it to happen. Exciting deal. #LFC

Tasty.

Wheels might be coming off a bit for Lampard.

If it stays like this, either Spurs or Wolves could be a couple of points behind them tomorrow.

never had any doubt he'd be brutally exposed as a useless twat over the course of a prem season.

Just had the same thought, also the other day pondering whether Lampard's ability to sign in January might be an unsettling factor as much as a strengthening one

Villa have been so bad today. just soooooo fucking bad. no confidence, no ideas.

Got to think of all that lovely lovely Chinese money!

Apparently we only score wonder-goals now.

where's our noodle vague/neanderthal double-act, this is like the ilx derby

apparently i shouldn't go to the bathroom during a game
